Hi. I've been lurking for awhile here at your blog...figured I'd say hi. Hi. :o) Your sweater is lovely and I am coveting it right now, however, many, many Unfinished Christmas Objects are beckoning to me and that sweater would clearly be a Selfish Knit (not that I don't deserve one of THOSE now and again...but I do need to finish gifty stuff first!). Hope your day is happy.

Your sweater is SO beautiful, Lynda!! It looks fantastic on you! (Such a tease, only giving us a little glimpse. Show it off, missy!;-)) The colors are just gorgeous- you did a fantastic job with it. And a guy who appreciates the finer points of wool and knitting? Your brother's a keeper, for sure. :-)

If you already know about the history of knitting, just don't bother to read this: Hundreds of years ago (I'm not enough of an historian to know exactly how many hundreds) men were the only knitters. There were knitting guilds and you had to be an apprentice first to learn the craft. You can look this up on Wikipedia.

Your sweater is gorgeous and the stories of your Thanksgiving are priceless. You are truly blessed to have such a family and a beautiful place to get away. Those mountains are incredible. I will always remember the amazing feeling I got when I turned onto Magnolia on a clear day in Anaheim and was able to see the mountains on the horizon. Living in Houston I have to go to the top of a freeway overpass the get any elevation. Love reading your blog.

Hey, don't we have a super crafty bunch of girls in our family? Those who knit together........and I'm willing to try homemade anything you make. And those guys seem to be able to make anything they want bad enough. That's what makes Monday nites so interesting!

About Me

I am a relatively "new knitter" - about two years now,... striving to live a life centered on God's will for me as a wife, mother, and homemaker. I'm blessed with a dear hubby and three kids- and I can't believe it took me 40-some-odd years to figure out I LOVE TO KNIT!!!
